- Can I reuse the lids for canning?
- No. The metal lids are single-use for a proper canning seal. Reuse the jars and bands, but buy new lids each season.
- Are these jars wide-mouth or regular-mouth?
- They are regular-mouth pint jars. Standard regular-mouth lids and bands fit them.
- Can the jars go in the dishwasher?
- Yes, the glass jars are dishwasher safe. Hand wash the lids and bands to keep them from rusting.
- Are they freezer safe?
- The glass can hold cold storage, but leave headspace for expansion and avoid sudden temperature changes, which can crack the jars.
- How do they compare with Ball or Kerr jars?
- They cost less and come as a full set, but Ball and Kerr have a longer track record for seal reliability and thicker glass.
- What comes in the set?
- Twelve 16-ounce glass jars, each with a metal lid and a screw band.
